Definitions
- This invention relates to an internal combustion engine for driving an electrical generator and having apparatus by which the engine is caused to operate at a pair of predetermined operating speeds.
- the operating speeds are chosen so that the output voltage from the generator has a frequency of one or other of a pair of chosen values.
- the apparatus may also be arranged to keep the output voltage of the generator constant when the change of frequency occurs.
- an internal combustion engine for driving an electrical generator having a carburetter (1) with a throttle valve, a speed governor for the engine, a governor lever (3) operatively connected to the governor and to the throttle valve, and means for controlling the throttle valve to cause the engine to operate at a pair of predetermined operating speeds
- said means including a first lever (10) rotatable with a snap-action between first and second operating positions on opposite sides of a neutral position and corresponding one to each of said pair of predetermined operating speeds, said first lever (10) being operatively connected to said governor lever (3) characterised in that the connection between the first lever (10) and the governor lever (3) comprises a second lever (9) rotatable between first and second operating positions corresponding one to each of said pair of predetermined operating speeds and operatively coupled to the governor lever by spring means (12) which urge the second lever (9) to its first operating position and co-operating means (13c, 9b) on the first and second levers whereby movement of the first lever (10) from its first to its second operating position causes the second lever
- the first and second operating positions of the second lever are chosen so that, in these positions, the speed of the engine is such that the generator produces a voltage of the required frequency. Simply by switching the first lever from one operating position to the other, the second lever is caused to move from one operating position to the other and the frequency of the voltage produced by the generator is changed from one commercial value to the other.
- the first and second operating positions of the second lever are, conveniently, each determined by co-acting surfaces on the lever and on a support plate.
- the first and second operating positions of the second lever are, conveniently, made adjustable.
- an internal combustion engine E driving an AC generator has a carburettor 1 with a throttle valve (not shown). Secured to the valve is a rotatable shaft 1a a which has a throttle lever 1b secured thereto. This lever 1b is operatively connected to a governor lever 3 through a rod 2. The governor lever 3 is secured to a shaft 4 of a governor by a bolt 5. The shaft 4 is operatively connected to a centrifugal weight device of the governor.
- An operating lever 10, refered to as a first lever and a speed control lever 9 refered to as a second lever are each rotatably mounted on a shaft 11 secured to a support plate 6 which is attached to the body of the engine E by bolts 7.
- An end of the lever 9 is operatively connected to a portion of governor lever 3 by a spring 12.
- a bent end portion 9b at another end of the lever 9 is urged against an end of an adjustable screw 13a by the spring 12 to locate the lever 9 in one operating position.
- the screw 13a is screwed in a bracket 6a formed on the support plate 6, and a spring 14 is provided between a head 13b of the screw and bracket 6a so as to prevent the screw from loosening.
- the levers 9, 3 and 1b are positioned to locate the throttle valve at the position for driving the engine at a rated speed, for example, 3000 rpm, which corresponds to an output frequency of 50 Hz from the generator.
- a coil spring 15 is provided between a portion of the lever 10 and a portion of the support plate 6, these portions being on opposite sides of the shaft 11.
- the lever 10 has projecting portions 10b and 10d, and a knob 10c.
- An adjustable screw 13c is screwed in a bracket 10a formed on the lever 10, and a spring 14a is disposed between a head 13d of the screw and the bracket 10a to prevent loosening of the screw 13c.
- portion 10b abuts against an inside wall of an opening 6b formed in the support plate 6, and a springy actuating member 16 is not in engagement with actuating rods 8a of a pair of switches 8 and 8' mounted on support plate 6.
- the switch 8 comprises a movable contact 8b and fixed contacts 8d and 8e
- switch 8' comprises a movable contact 8c and fixed contacts 8f and 8g
- a generator 17 driven by the engine comprises an armature winding 17a having an intermediate tap, capacitor winding 17b with an intermediate tap, field winding 17e, output terminal 17c and output terminal 17d which is selectively connected to fixed contacts 8d and 8e by movable contact 8b.
- the engine speed is at a low speed (3000 rpm) for a low frequency (50 Hz) at a rated voltage (100 V).
- the adjust screw 13c engages with the end 9b of the speed control lever 9 to rotate it in the clockwise direction, so that governor lever 3 is rotated in the clockwise direction through spring 12, thereby rotating the throttle shaft 1a in the direction to open the throttle valve.
- the engine speed is increased, for example, to 3,600 rpm which corresponds to a high frequency of 60 Hz from the generator.
- movable contacts 8b and 8c engage with fixed contacts 8d and 8g, respectively, as shown by dotted line in Figure 4, thereby keeping the output voltage at output terminals 17c and 17d at a constant value (100 V).
- the adjust screw 13a In order to adjust the engine speed to exactly 3000 rpm, the adjust screw 13a is rotated by a screwdriver in the state of Figure 1, and, in order to adjust to 3600 rpm, the adjust screw 13c is rotated in the state of Figure 3. Since both adjust screws are positioned in the same direction at the adjustment, adjusting operation is very easy.
- Adjust screws 13a and 13c may, alternatively, be provided on the speed control lever 9 and stops may be provided on the support plate 6 and on the operating lever 10, respectively, so as to be engaged therewith.
- the present invention provides an apparatus in which the angle of rotation of an operating lever can be set to a constant angle, thereby ensuring the operation of a switch. Further, since the spring 15 is not connected to the governor lever 3, the load on the spring can be increased. Accordingly, it is possible to provide a sharp snap action in the motion of the operating lever.
